The head of the Engineering Projects Department at the Holy Shrine, Engineer Diyaa Al-Din Al-Sayegh, said, "The department has started construction work on the Al-Kafeel Museum building, which is being built on an area of 4000 square meters and consists of six floors with an 80-meter-tall minaret."

He pointed out that the museum’s vision and the mechanism for preserving the treasures and its laboratories are on par with international museums.
